Possible: yes.
Easy? NO.

Main strategy: Load up on reds, spam attacks eating three reds at a time.

So I never really understood what's happening with the greens. Do they just spam a self-heal while being attacked? I always thought that other greens offered some sort of healing but the holds wouldn't make sense then.

Currently on Virtue:
Jinrazuo - Crab Spider

RWZ All-Pylon Solo Run

I'd have to double check again with [Power Analyzer mk III], but I think besides their heal, they have a very high regeneration rate... which is not active while being held. Either that or it's probably their Resistance that doesn't work while being held.

Then again, I'm mostly guessing at this point. It's been a while since I took a look at it.

The greens have a toggle regen power. As soon as you hold them, it shuts off.

I've honestly never really worried about holds on them... but then, I typically play a Cold/Sonic defender on the LGTF

Oh, Benumb, I love you so . . .

We did it today without holds. We were having trouble with them then a couple of people whipped out HVAS temp power from RWZ. That seemed to do the trick. It did take I believe 3 or 4 of them in total (one at a time).

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.

I've completed a few LGTFs without the presence of any control-type ATs and the greens can be a bit of a problem. Fortunately, I generally run it on my NR^2 blaster, which has devastation slotted in my three single-target attacks. Its just a matter of waiting for the hold to proc and the green faceplants a moment later.

Possible? Yes.
Advisable? No.

I would say so. All blaster LGTF. Completed under 2 hours. Lots of deaths? Over a 100 as I recall.
